I did put this on a bipolar Facebook page and Literlly no responses I could cry as I don’t know where to turn.
I’m not sure where to start but I have bipolar affective disorder, EUPD, ADHD and Bulimia. Last year I was sectioned due to a really bad low and my eating disorder becoming problematic they put me on quetiapine I put on 8 stone I was devastated At the middle of the year I had a really bad hypomania last weeks where I spent 30,000 went to the Maldives on a whim brought a dog and did some reckless things which I’m ashamed about . In September I lost my job due to health and they reported me to the dvla and now face losing my license I’m on a massive low I’m not eating havnt for days I’m just laying in bed all day I have really bad intrusive thoughts and just keep ruminating my S Ideations are getting stronger and stronger and can’t escape them I’m not on any medication at the moment as it’s poison it’s trying to poison me I feel like I’m in a haze I don’t feel connected to myself I’m trying to put on a brave face as through nothing is wrong when everything is wrong I have calls daily for repayments for all the loans and credit cards I took out and can’t repay. I have two at Bernard’s who constantly want my attention I keep crying I feel hopeless and worthless I don’t know what to do my psychiatrist have left and now it’s someone I don’t know they discharged me from CPN last year I genuinely don’t know where to turn or what to do 😢😢. I can sleep I took 30mg of zopiclone just to try and sleep and they only prescribe me 10 a month and that took hours to kick in. I just want to feel better.

Hi Op,

Sorry to hear this, it sounds like you are having a crisis. Is there any friends and family you can call to help? Not eating all day and laying in bed isn’t going to help things. You need to get some food in you.

Are you able to look after the st Bernard’s? Are they getting walks and food? I think you might need to get some help for them if you can’t look after them right now. The fact they constantly need your attention is probably a sign their needs aren’t being met.

Hi OP, I’m sorry you are struggling so much. Can you ring the RSPCA if you are unable to care for your dogs at the moment? They might be able to offer some short term fostering to give you time to focus on caring for yourself without having to worry about your dogs.
Can you ring the MH crisis team to get some help for yourself too as you are clearly in crisis if you are not eating and are staying in bed.
Try to be kind to yourself and take one day at a time xx
